A Covid vaccination hub that can deliver up to 2000 jabs a day has opened at Sandown Racecourse.
South Sudanese community leaders were among the first to roll up their sleeves for AstraZeneca shots at the centre’s 29 booths on 19 May.
Jago Adongjak of Centre for Multicultural Youth said the vaccine was a “very important step in fighting this coronavirus”.
“We need as a community to be seen to be doing the right thing.
“I’ve taken it today because it’s very important for everybody – for yourself, your family, your community and most importantly Australia.”
Mr Adjongjak said “too much conflicting information in the media” was causing hesitancy. It needed to be countered, he said.
